They transform non-tequila drinkers into tequila lovers by educating them on the process, taste, and quality all while building a legacy to honor their culture and heritage.
Our Challenge
Tequila Cabresto approached TM to help with the consistency of their company’s branding. While Cabresto had a website, sell sheets, and other advertising material, there wasn't a place with proper guidelines of their brand’s colors, logo usage, story, text, and other elements.
From here, we made sure to give the brand not only a light visual refresh but pulled everything together to make it cohesive and consistent.
- Solidify Tequila Cabresto’s branding
- Make information stand out and elements cohesive
- Place the branding elements in one marketing guide for viewing
- Created the brand book to showcase the branding of Tequila Cabresto
- Implemented their design aesthetic, including defining their color palette and establishing consistent motifs
- Provided production-ready assets for usage both internally and externally with their customers
Our Solution
To start, our creative team began to layout the design for the brand guidelines (or what we call a “brand book”). We knew we wanted to keep the same general feel and look but modernize it to feel fresh and current, as well as a little more refined so they could begin to bridge into the higher-end market. We took a special focus on defining their color palette that radiates around their primary deep gold, supporting product colors, and sepia tones, as well as the palettes of the individual bottle branding.
As the purpose of the brand book is to pull together cohesive brand elements, we also needed to highlight the brand’s products. We used textures and motifs pulled from the bottle labels throughout the book to make the guidelines as a whole tie in directly with their bottle branding, including some of their colors and design elements, such as the flourishes and linework.
The top-notch photo assets provided by the client truly brought the book. It showcases the highlands in Jalisco, Mexico, including their agave farm, family-owned tire shop, and more detailed shots of the family business.
Once the design elements were solidified, we worked on creating the brand book to cover their brand story, tone, mission statement, values, and vision, as well as the logo, colors, typography, and print collateral. Our creative and marketing teams worked together to polish off any remaining content.
The brand book is now available digitally and in print format for Tequila Cabresto to distribute to their vendors and anyone else who may be representing their brand. We’re proud to showcase the importance of this family-owned tequila business in a way that not only reflects the professionalism and refinement of the business but also exudes the feeling of a hard-working family who cares deeply about their craft.
